Thanks for the feedback.

What % do you typically recommend?

1% seems to not cover daily variance and 3% seems too much to lose overall. I'd use 2.5% but I can only use integers at Scottrade, so I'm using 2%.

Position sizing and Stops go hand in hand, and should vary based on the expected volatility of the stock you are trading, and the % of equity you are willing to put at risk!
